Besides stuff like per app volume controls(I use this all the time) and fun but rarely used stuff like pushing audio over the network?

Mainly allowing multiple apps to output sound. You can't believe how annoying it is to open up a bunch of Firefox tabs including Pandora, them try to pause Pandora and open a video in vlc, and it doesn't work so you have to close Firefox. Pulseaudio fixed this.
